Tree Trimming

Trees are beautiful, and enhance the character of our neighborhoods.
Unfortunately, trees can also cause problems.

Trees allowed to grow unchecked can cover
signs or limit the distance you can see down a road. They can also
grow into electrical wires. Some trees have aggressive root systems
that can buckle and destroy sections of the sidewalk and road. For
these reasons, we have to trim, and sometimes remove, trees.

As part of our commitment to customer
service, we place notices on doors of homes in neighborhoods where we
plan to trim trees. This gives you the opportunity to trim them
yourself. If you choose not to, crews will trim the trees that are on
County right-of-way at no cost to you.

If a tree is located on your property, you
are responsible for damage or conditions caused by it. However, if
tree branches are interfering with electrical lines it is dangerous to
trim them yourself. Let the experts at San Diego Gas & Electric do
the work. Their customer service telephone number is (800) 411-7343.

To find out if a tree is your responsibility, or to report a tree
interfering with road visibility or your ability to read signs, please
call (858) 694-3850.
